MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Proposed Visit to Mexico. In connection with your visit to Mexico, the best time for the visit would be between the middle of Feb- ruary and the middle of March. At that time the weather will be warm enough to be comfortable and assuming that you will want to fly, the skies will be clear, because the rainy season will not have started. The most com- fortable flight can be made by leaving Washington around one a.m. and arriving in Mexico about nine in the morn- ing. Upon arrival you should proceed immediately to the American Embassy, where for reasons of prestige it would seem desirable that you reside during your stay in Mexico City. The Mexican Government may wish to make a resi- dence available to you, but the Embassy is very comfort- able and from a security stand-point is believed ade- quate. The property covers the major portion of a city block and is surrounded by a high wall. It would be in order for you to pay a courtesy visit to the President of Mexico about noon time on the day of your arrival. Protocol arrangements would be made by the Mexican Foreign Office and the President of Mexico would
